"Yet another excellent set from the greatest living jazz organist. On this one her rhythm and blues credentials come to the front and she is accompanied by top-line soloists such as Ray Anderson and Mitch Watkins. Recording quality great; soloing great; and what is also surprising is that when this was recorded she was still only 23 years old. Unmissable - but then that also applies to all of her other recordings to date."

Amazing!

"When you think of the B3, you will obviously think of Jimmy Smith, Brian Auger, and Joey DiFrancesco. It wasn't until I discovered You Tube and I looked up Mitch Watkins that I first even heard of Barbara Dennerlein. As I watched the Watkins performance, I wondered who was playing the killer stand up bass and, as the camera pulled back, I was in absolute shock to see that this woman (Barbara) was not only playing a killer B3, but she was also playing all the bass on the pedals. This German woman is an absolute master of the B3, and I immediately ordered four of her cds. They ALL cook! If you want jazz that sizzles, buy this cd!"
